title: Pituitary apoplexy as a first manifestation of pituitary adenomas following intensive thrombolytic and antithrombotic therapy.
abstract: Apoplexy of a previously asymptomatic pituitary macroadenoma may occur in the setting of intensive thrombolytic, antithrombotic, or anticoagulant therapy for acute myocardial infarction. Classic clinical findings may initially be nonspecific and a high index of suspicion is therefore required for early diagnosis.
